Mini-review by Harriet Yoder

“Here’s another one of our favorites! With the new third edition of the BJU Press Handwriting 1 Student Worktext has made a remarkably homeschool friendly introductory penmanship course. Though it is listed for grade 1, this consumable workbook could be used with any child who needs to learn to print neatly and isn’t ready for cursive.”

“BJU Press has their own pre-cursive style which keeps the student’s pencil on the paper (unlike the “ball and stick” method), is a bit slanted, and has a more natural curves to the letters. For example, when you end the a, there is a little curve at the end instead of the straight stick look.”

“The workbook has 330 pages consisting of 165 two-page lessons. Once again, like their new kindergarten math, the page layout and the graphics are well done. There is enough practice on each page to be beneficial without giving your student blisters on the fingers.”

“This is the kind of curriculum product we love because it is economical and easy for the busy homeschool mom (or dad!) to use. In the homeschool setting with one on one instant feedback and reinforcement, you could really use this as your manuscript printing curriculum and then move on to cursive–especially with the late bloomers.”
